Résumé
International agencies are committed to conservation and development that shares costs, benefits and decision-making powers more equitably. People-centred conservation does not mean that poverty reduction or local development priorities should always override other social goals, but does mean that we need to work on practical solutions to reconcile conservation and development at local and global levels. This paper presents six areas where useful progress can be made:

- interrogation of “public good” notions of biodiversity value versus other views of nature;

- greater rigour in seeking local values and priorities;

- clarification of what “participation” is for;

- acknowledgement and tackling of power differences among stakeholders;

- recognition of synergies (not just clashes) between local and international conservation priorities; and

- development of legitimate frameworks for negotiation.
